end useful improvement in Toasters, of

act description.

My invention relates to toasters and has for its ohjeol; to produce atoaster having a reversible toast ;holder which shall be simple andinexpensive to manufacture and easy to operate.

The following is a description oil a. toaster embodying my, n'vention.iefcnenoc being had. to the accompanying drawing, in which-- Figure 1 isa front. elevation of a toaster embodying my invention;

Figure 2 is an end elevnlion oi the some; and Figure 3 is a sectionalplanyiew on thelinc 3. 3 of Fig. 2 showing one of the holders inextended position.

Referring more particularly "to the drawing, 1 is the frame of a.toaster, the same comprising a base 2 and side nnright-s 3 connecked bya crossbar l and housing within it the ordinary heating elementindicated at 5 to which are conneci'cd the circuit terminals 6 adaptedto receive the ordinary plug. 7

which ine following is a full, clear; and exis a supporting plate towhich the side inexohers 3 ercsecured. Each side member is provided,with a )erforated ear 8 adjacent its upper end. *llovahly mounted in theperforation inan ear 8 and an aligning perforation in the supportingframe 7 are the bent ends of :1 llshapcd carrier 9 formed of Wire andwhose closed end is pivotally connected to n toast holder 10 having twosides and a bottom so as to be iishspedq the connection between thetoast holder and e carrier 9 oonsistin of loons 11 and new ,i erated car12 (Banded by the holder. The supporting plate is provided with a slot13 lying in a plane parallel to the plane of the heating element andextending from side to side of the frame The toast;- holder is providedat one end with a pin 1% which extends into the slot. Al: ihe other endthe toast holder is provided Willi :1 handle 15 for actuating the some.ilhcn the tons: holder is in toasting position it is parallel to thehealing clerneni' and closely :ni acent'thcie in as shown in dots theleft hand side of 3. After toasling ii. is moved to the position shownin full lines on the left hand side of Fig. 3, this movement beingbrought about by manipulating the handle 15. Dilling this movemeini; ehepin 1e moves toward the ceniei of the slot 13 and "to. 9. point slightlySllOEil of the center when the toast holder is at right angles to theplane of the heating element. The 'fnnihei' movement of the handle 15results in {he pin 1% traveling toward the other end of lzhe slot 23until it is near the end of the slot. A reverse movemenl; of the handlerestores illfi holder to its original position.

lies on the outside surface of the tonsil: holder as shown in Fig. l andas shown in dots on. the left of F 3. 'll hen ihe pin is at the otherend of the slot however, the closed end of the carries is adjacent tothe inner face of the holder as shown as 1% in full lines at the righthand side of Fig.

In order filial. the arms of. the carrier shall not collide with the pinii in either position it is bent slighlly at the point 16, Fig. 3 andfurthermore the upper member oi the frame has notches 1'? cut thereininto which the carrier enters when on the inside of the toast holder.

It is to he noted that the arms of the cenriei' are pivoted to theironic an points edjacent one end of the heating: element and in a planelying in front thereof end pan alled thereto and is pivoted to saidholden at 1: point edjaccne its central pOliZiOTz and flint, the slot 13in whichthe nin 1 revels is cut by the vertical plane "which ispeifzillel to the heating" element and contains the pivol'al mountingsof the carrier in ehe frame. The other side of the toaster is providedWilli 7. similar carrier 9. holder 10, slot 13 and pin ll meeting in themanner described.

As will he evident to those skilled in the art. my inventim'i permits ofvarious modifications without departing from -;he spirit thereof or thescope of the appended claims.

What 11 claim is:

1. In a. toaster, die combination of a i x'ame. a heating elcn'ieiilitherein, a toast holder, a holder carrier comprising arms pivoted tosaid frame at poinis adjacent one end of said element and in a plane l'innin front thereof and parallel. Elia-elm also pivo n lo id holderadjacent. its tin] port in. n y ejection on one end of holder and guideceii'icii by said Patented don $53 392%,;

il hen the pin lei is ndacentthe corresponding "can 8 the carrier 9along which said projection moves, said guide being parallel to saidelement.

2. In a toaster, the combination of e frame, a heating element therein,a toast holder, a holder carri r comprising arms pivoted to said frameat points adjacent one end of said element and 111. a plane lying infront thereof and parallehthereto, and also pivoted to said holderadjacent its central portion, a projection on one end of said holder anda slot in said frame in which said projection moves, said slot beingparallel to said element.

3.111 a toaster, the combination of a frame, a heating element therein,a toast holder, a holder carrier comprising arms pivoted to said frameat points adjacent one end of said element and in a plane lying in frontthereof and parallel thereto, and

also pivoted to said holder adjacent its cen tral portion, a projectionon one end of said holder and a. slot in said frame in Which saidprojection moves, said slot being parallel to said element, said planepassing subeerie stantially through the loi'igitudinal er zis saidholder when said holder is poralldl to said element and through thelongitu center of said slot. i

t. In a toaster, the combine, frame, a heating element therei holder, aholder carrier coinpril. pivoted to said. frame at points ad pne end ofsaid element and a plane l m front thereof and parallel thereto,

also pivoted to said holder adjacent tral portion, a projection. on oneend i holder and a slot in said frame in. which said projection moves,said slot being parallel to said element, said plane passingsuhstant-ially through the longitudinal axis of said holder when saidholder is parallel. said. element and through the longitudi center ofsaid slot, said pivotal connection of said carrier to said holder beingout of said plane when said holder parallel to said element.
